About the award

This funding interview is for a social venture seeking to improve education while building a sustainable organisation. The panel tests the depth of the learner need, evidence of educational impact, the economics of delivery, inclusion and whether growth can happen without reducing quality or safety.

How to prepare

  1. Check the fund's official guidance for current eligibility, funding terms and evidence expectations.
  2. Define the learner outcome clearly and explain why your chosen measure is meaningful.
  3. Analyse who benefits, who pays and the major costs at the current and next stage.
  4. Gather feedback from learners, educators and paying customers without treating their needs as identical.
  5. Stress-test the model for low connectivity, inconsistent power and limited staff capacity.

Common mistakes

  • Using reach or sign-up numbers as the only evidence of learning.
  • Describing schools, teachers, parents and learners as if they all want the same thing.
  • Ignoring the cost of support, training or offline delivery.
  • Pursuing rapid growth before the venture can protect quality and safeguarding.
